It is also over satellite... which is medium speed internet at best.. my provider may also have limits on how many connection attempts I get ... I buy a professional package.. but you can BET I will dump sat has soon as DSL shows up (in the next year or soo I hope)... > > AIX, Solaris, HP and Cisco all support SCTP in their latest OS versions. > There are aslo a few different (non-free) implementations for Windows, and > at least one open-source implementation for Linux (http://www.openss7.org) > Linux has SCTP built into the kernle with the lk-sctp project.. I would not touch the openss7 version.. it is not very compatible with any other SCTP (it does not follow the standard).. At the last interop some of the issues were finally fixed (its really the first time they showed up and tested)... but I don't know if those patches are available or per fee. The lk-sctp project in the kernel is far stabler and they are working to performance tune it (here it needs a lot of work) and AFAIK lk-sctp will ship with all 2.6.6 and greater kernels... turned on by default if I remember right..
